Portuguese transcription
Portuguese speech to text for both sides of the Atlantic. Brazilian and European Portuguese are spoken differently enough that engines trained on one struggle with the other. Upload a recording and Hilite returns Portuguese text with the nasal vowels, the accents, and the cedilla written correctly.

How to transcribe Portuguese audio to text
- 1
Upload the Portuguese audio
MP3, M4A, WAV, or an MP4 video file. Interviews, sermons, lectures, and full episodes are all fine.
- 2
Set the language to Portuguese
Naming the language gives a cleaner result than letting the engine guess, especially for recordings with Spanish speakers present.
- 3
Check the names and the accents
Place names and surnames are where Portuguese transcripts most often slip. Click a line to hear it and correct it in place.

- Both varieties, not just oneEuropean Portuguese reduces unstressed vowels in a way Brazilian Portuguese does not, which is why some tools handle one well and the other badly. Both are supported here.
- The orthography survivesNasal vowels, acute and circumflex accents, and the cedilla all come back written properly rather than stripped.
- Correct it against the audioEach line stays linked to the moment it was spoken, so a doubtful word is one click from being settled.
